The United States
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has
recently completed
work to clean up
and remove hazardous
substances on a
property in Leeward
Oahu, Hawaii.

EPA emergency response
staff led the clean
up and removal
of more than 1,000
tons of solid and
hazardous wastes,
lead acid batteries
and contaminated
soil, at a cost
of more than $500,000.

During the execution
of a search warrant,
federal law enforcement
officers discovered
that Richard Allen
Botelho and Dwayne
Luis Dano, both
convicted felons,
were in possession
of firearms. Dano
and Botelho later
pleaded guilty
to being felons
in possession of
firearms. Both
were sentenced
to incarceration
followed by supervision.
